TweakUI Side Effect (WXP-Pro)

Published by: mike 2009-01-07

Hi,
This is sort of a repair Tweak. This happened to me a while back. Someone else posted the same problem at another Board. I thought it might be a good idea to post it here.

When TWEAKUI for XP repairs icons or removes the shortcut arrow, it changes a registry key and doesn't put it back. This results in a change of icons from the Win XP theme to a lower quality icon.
If you select 32 bit, you'll get the XP icons back. They will no longer show at 16 bit.
